STEEL PROPHET frontman Rick Mythiasin has checked in with the following update:

"I just wanted to say what a great year it's been for Steel Prophet, reuniting with the Inner Ascendance line up has been nothing short of amazing. To come full circle with these guys is a testament to this band! After all these years of struggle and various line up changes, to once again share a stage with these guys has rekindled the flame.

The highlight of 2013 has to be performing with them at the Keep It True Festival! And also the opportunity to record our 10th album is such an accomplishment for an underground band that is still in the shadows of obscurity, I'm hoping and praying that the release of Omniscient will change all that and take us to the next level.

I want to thank Steve Kachinsky and Vince Dennis for being there for me and giving me a second chance once again. I'd also like to thank you our fans, who have been so incredibly devoted and patiently awaiting this release. God Bless you all and on behalf of Steel Prophet, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous new year!"

Steel Prophet's much discussed and long awaited new album., Omniscient, will be released by Cruz Del Sur Music in 2014, both on CD and vinyl LP. The album will feature the vocals of Rick Mythiasin, who has returned to sing with Steel Prophet for the first time since 2002’s Unseen album.

Omniscient is a conceptual, science fiction themed album, with a heavy dose of unusual philosophies and ideas, that will appeal to all fans of Steel Prophet’s early works, especially the Dark Hallucinations period. This new album will have a visually outstanding package that will read like a graphic novel to highlight the story that underlines the music.

The album will be released in June 2014, when the band is scheduled to return on tour in Europe after their successful 2013 headliner show at Germany's Keep It True festival. Stay tuned for more updates.

Steel Prophet recently signed a deal with Pure Steel Records. The label will release the band's complete works on vinyl, beginning with 1995's The Goddess Principle. The album has been remastered and will be out at the end of 2013/ beginning of 2014.

Stay tuned for complete details, to be announced soon.
